NFTs are bad for the environment because art is bad for the environment. oil painting is heavy metals in paint thinner. acrylic paint is plastic. what goes down the sink in the printmaking shop. the darkroom needs tubs of chemicals. thats the deal the artist makes with the earth
i dont make the rules. i can only tell you that every artist has probably committed 50-100 OSHA or EPA violations. i am possibly now the most exempt from this by mostly using a computer and inks but i assume this motherboard and tablet uses metals from a mine run by children
if i was not restrained by the tweet character limit i probably would not use the phrase “bad for the environment” as a definitive endpoint as that concedes certain philosophical ground i generally retain, ie, by what standard, relative to what, in what timeframe etc
reddit hivemind being up in arms about some blockchain technology is obviously worthy of some scrutiny. for what its worth id put money on the NFT thing generally taking off / not going away. once it fully integrates w video games itll be pretty crazy (imo) (not financial advice)
